“NO CONCEALED WEAPONS ALLOWED. If you are such a loser that you feel a need to carry a gun with you when you go out, I do not want your business. Douchebag.”
That’s the message Backstreets Pub & Deli recently sent to gun owners with a sign posted in its store window. The backlash against the establishment, located in Clemson, S.C., was swift after the conservative website Twitchy posted several photos of the sign from Twitter.
The Washington Times reports that the pub has a one-star rating out of five on Yelp.com, “with pages upon pages of negative comments and reviews by Second Amendment supporters.”

Irreconcilable differences. Here we go again.
How convenient for the next perp who wants to hold up the joint.
Soon to be a half Star rating.
Does he say the same thing to cops?
Shouldn’t legally fly with the recent ruling in Arizona. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Gun-free zone!
It is his place and he can ban if he wants to.
I personally don’t want people packing in my house or in my business either. I would not call them names though.
The Times has some of the reactions:
Deshaun, on Yelp, gave the pub a five-star rating.
“Advertisin’ that this place has no guns makes me and my homies want to go rob it at least five times a day,” he said.
“And if this crazy cracker tries to fight be we’ll be goin’ all Trayvon on his white mofo a$$.”
“Cya tomorrow, Peteyboy!”
Banning guns is not the way to draw business in Pickens County.
Criminals are taking note.
I like the way he signed his name at the end of the message.
The sign doesn’t say anything about open carry.
Good chance he sells Sam Adams, Heineken, and Guinness.
Not sounding like there will be any cash in the till!
When is his going out of business date again????
Agreed... Your rights as well...
Time for freedom loving, 2A supporters to put their financial support behind ALL business who welcome us...
Thank You! I always utilize this point when talking to my gun-control advocate family and friends. It makes some stop and think, but most stare silently for a second while the cognitive dissonance kicks in.
If you would call the police and wish for their 'protection' when you found yourself in danger or the victim of a crime... you are NOT anti-gun. You are a statist who believes the state should have a monopoly on arms and violence.
The second part, of course, is answering their question of "why does anyone need an 'assault weapon' or a high-capacity magazine? with "the same reason the police need them."
This bar owner is free to ban whomever he likes. Well, actually he's not... try banning gays/blacks/Jews or something and see what happens. But he should be free to ban whomever he wants if it's private property. He must then live with the consequences when people boycott his bar. Or when criminals decide he's an easy target for armed robbery.
Shweet! Post the business name (if you have one) so we can make sure to avoid it.
It’s impossible to educate the relentlessly stupid.
